Mr  J. BULL (Sunbury) — Last Friday I had the great opportunity to join Terry Larkins, the chair of Western Water, and Andrew Strong of Downer Constructions and their teams to tour the upgrade of the Sunbury recycled water plant and mark the completion of stage 1 of this important project. The Andrews Labor government funded this $53 million project to futureproof wastewater infrastructure in Sunbury and Diggers Rest. More than 50 full and part-time jobs are expected to be created during the height of construction, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of next year. Once completed this upgrade will increase the volume of wastewater in the plant from 6 million to 9 million litres a day, catering to the high population growth expected in Sunbury and Diggers Rest. Local residents and stakeholders are closely involved in the project via the project reference group, which meets regularly and provides valued and important feedback. It is great to see this upgrade coming along well, and I certainly look forward to coming back for the official opening.
